Re: Scaling factor ... 2560

Obviously from a cisco track development engineer who does not work with
OSPF :)

Thing is, track is protocol independent and different protocols use
different metrics. They decided that 1 byte was enough precision to
track a route, so they try to fit different protocol metrics into
the 0-255 range.

Some documents state that the RIP factor is "times 17" instead of
1. Luckily, OSPF (and EIGRP/ISIS/BGP/static) support changing the
default with "track resolution ip route ospf xxxx".
